The seminal moment in the trial of Criminal Appeals judge Sharon Keller may have come on Wednesday, when she told a crowded courtroom in San Antonio that she would do nothing different if confronted again with a request to keep the clerk office open.

Editorial
An Unfit Judge
Judge Sharon Keller, the Texas appellate court judge who closed the clerk’s office before a death row inmate could file a last-minute appeal, is fighting to keep her job. At a hearing on Wednesday, she said in a crowded courtroom that if she had it to do again, she would do the same thing. That testimony is further proof of why Judge Keller needs to be removed from the bench.
On Sept. 25, 2007, Michael Richard’s lawyers called the court clerk’s office to say they were running late in delivering the papers for his appeal. The Supreme Court had unexpectedly issued an order in another death penalty case that they believed provided grounds for putting off his execution. When the request to keep the office open reached Judge Keller, she insisted it would close promptly at 5 p.m. The appeal was not filed, and Mr. Richard was executed hours later.
Judge Keller is now facing five counts of judicial misconduct and a possible recommendation that the state judicial system remove her from the bench.
In court this week, Judge Keller lashed out at the condemned man’s lawyers, blaming them for the controversy. She argued that Mr. Richard could still have filed his appeal by seeking out another judge, but that misses the point. She did not follow appropriate procedures. And clearly, under any interpretation of the rules, given that a life lay in the balance, the clerk’s office should have stayed open.
Judge Keller’s profound lack of appreciation for the seriousness of taking a life — and the obligations it places on the state — is similar to the disturbing dissent that Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas delivered this week in the Troy Davis case. They suggested there was no constitutional problem with executing a man who could prove he was innocent.
We believe the death penalty is in all cases wrong. But people who support it should still insist that it be carried out only after a prisoner has been given every reasonable chance to make his case. Judge Keller’s callous indifference in a case where the stakes could not have been higher makes her unfit for office.
8-18-09 Judge Sharon Keller on Trial
- Killer Keller on Trial
The highest-ranking criminal judge in Texas, the woman who presides over the most active execution chamber in the country, sat at a defense table on Monday to face charges of intentionally denying a condemned man access to the legal system.
Texas Criminal Judge Accused of Misconduct
In this morning's NY Times I found a late entry in the Worst Woman in The World contest whose evil equals and perhaps even surpasses that of the current leader, Ann Coulter.
Gretel C. Kovach in the NYTimes article linked below describes the most recent candidate for the worst woman in the world, Judge Sharon "Killer" Keller chief judge of Texas' highest criminal court.
In 1998, Keller wrote the opinion denying a new trial for Roy Criner, a mentally retarded man convicted of rape and murder, even though DNA tests conducted after his trial showed that it was not his semen in the victim. Keller said, "We can't give new trials to everyone who establishes, after conviction, that they might be innocent. We would have no finality in the criminal justice system, and finality is important."
Of course finality is more important than justice in the justice system!
In one of his few such uncharacteristic moments of mercy, Governor George W. Bush pardoned Mr. Criner.
To Judge Keller's detractors, the Criner decision highlighted what they see as her strong and habitual bias for the prosecution. Texas defense lawyers describe her as a "law-and-order" zealot who rejects most appeals out of hand. Her defenders say she's a hard worker, an "engaging conversationalist" and admire "her calm confidence and the strength of her convictions." She's someone "who never complains, never explains." Her court colleagues have nicknamed her "Mother Superior" because of her devout Roman Catholic faith.
Seventeen months ago, lawyers for a man facing execution sought extra time to file a last minute appeal. Judge Keller refused to delay the closing of her clerk's office past 5p.m. even though late filings are common on the day of a scheduled execution. The man, Michael Richard was put to death a few hours later. Based on that case the State Commission on Judicial Conduct last month charged Judge Keller with incompetence, violating her duties and casting public discredit on the judiciary. Keller could be tried and forced off the bench. Keller was elected to the bench in 1994 in a campaign in which she described herself as "pro-prosecution."

Margaret Thatcher
"Thatcher's world was one in which people are not respected for their humanity but valued according to their usefulness to those in power. To those foolish enough to still think of Thatcher as a female version of Ronald Reagan--in other words, those who don't understand how her undisguised social Darwinism was far more ruthless than Reagan's blithe free-market cheerleading--the novels (Derek Raymond's Factory novels) might be a shock. In Raymond's novels "murder has become a perfect expression of the prevaioing political order--in this case, Margaret Thatcher's Britain. Thatcher famously claimed that there is no such thing as society. In the Factory novels, the social order can't be violated because it has already been dismantled."
[Borrowed from Charles Taylor's review of Derek Raymond's Factory novels in The Nation January 5, 2009]

Michelle Bachman, Tea Bagger Queen--a write-in Candidate from Mewlhouse
We have another write-in candidate to add to the list--Michelle Bachman Republican U.S. Representative from Minnesota's 6th Congressional district. She may not be the most evil woman in the world, but she's clearly the dumbest and most ignorant member of Congress. Leaving her of the original list was an oversight on my part.
Bachman was born Michelle Marie Amble in 1956 in Waterloo, Iowa. She is married, and has five children. She has a J.D. degree from Oral Roberts University. When she was on the Board of a charter school in Minnesota she tried to institute classes in creatinionism and "12 Christian Principles." She resigned when she didn't succeed. In Congress she has stated her belief tha CO2 results from a beneficial natural process, she opposed the economic bailout measures, and she introduced a freedom of choice of light bulbs bill but opposes a woman's right to choose, supports the teaching of intelligent design in science classes, she believes GLBT people suffer from sexual identity disorders and wrt health care reform proposals she said
"This cannot pass. What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn't pass."

Anne Coulter, Ralph, Anne Coulter. She does some real damage and is still alive.
Ralph,
I like them all, I can't help it no matter how crazy a woman is they are still what make us do the crazy things we do. LOL
Thank you for a good saturday afternoon smile.
TMG
My vote goes to Anne Coulter.
Two votes for Ann Coulter. Do you really think Ann's worse than Lizzie Borden who axed her father and step-mother? Or Clytemnestra who, legend has it, murdered her husband, Agamemnon, King of Greece and his concubine, Cassandra? What about Nurse Rached who refused to let the boys watch the World Series on TV and who was responsible for Jack Nicholson's lobotomy. Or the Denny's waitress who wouldn't take subsittutions?
Ok if I have to vote, Nurse Rachet that world series thing was over the top.
But, I would like to give Loraina Bobbit an honorable mention.
TMG
I forgot about Lorena. I'll see if I can find some info and add her to the list.
I am going to get hate mail over this. Ann's a babe! But she uses too much eye liner.
My vote goes to Nancy Pelosi, after writing the stimulus bill.
OH, NO! WHAT DID I DO? Now I have to watch out for the Secret Service. If you do not hear from me again, you know what happened.
Keep on Hubbing!
And the age old secret to hubpages. Why does it insert an extra line here, that I go back in and remove? I don't want to waist cyperpaper.
Thanks for your comments.
sham colder gets my vote.
Have to go for Clytemnestra - that term is still used as an insult over here! Mind you, Agamemnon was a pompous idiot, so they deserved each other!
Lizzie Borden was a nut, however Lorena Bobbit went to the exteme I don't know who in their right mind as a woman would ever do such a thing? I wonder if she was related to Jeffrey Dahmer? He chose to kill and eat his prey and she chose to bite off something she shouldn't of I am certainly glad she got caught before she ended up being like her relation.:)
I like Anne Coulter, of course I am different, I am not liberal socialist or liberal communist. Every one has some negative side, but major on who is bad is not very kosher.
Regarding of Wikipedia, there is a lot good information, but critical thinking, there is a lots of missinforamtions.
Barranca, Sham Colder?
Vladimir, I use Wikipedia a lot, but I agree that it's far from perfect. Thanks for your comment.
Another suggestion--Marie Antoinette who said "Let them eat cake!" when told that the populace was hungry.
Also, Leona Helmsley, the "Queen of Mean" who left her billions to her cat.
Ann Coulter has a big lead in the voting for the worst woman in the world--57% compared to her nearest competotors, Lizzie Borden, Clytemnestra and Nurse Ratched, all at 14%. Where are all you Ann Coulter supporters?
They don't like to hang out at your hubs, Ralph. lol. You should go back to the politics forum (if you feel like it--I don't really) and show them how it is done. (A compliment.)
Coulter gets my vote, hands down.
Tnx. Coulter has extended her lead to 73%. Lorena Bobbit might have given her a run for the money, if I'd thought of including her on the original list.
I'm not sure Coulter is a woman. She is, I believe, a transmogrified alien from the planet anorexia.
As I recall none other than George Will referred to Ann as "him."
I enjoyed this hub Ralph Deeds - voted - but have to say i had never heard of Ann Coulter until this minute - doesn't sound at all popular ....
Ann Coulter is an evil woman. She appears fairly often on conservative TV talk shows that you don't get down under.
I've re-opened the polls to allow voting on two additional candidates for "The Worst Woman in the World," Lorena Bobbitt and Sharon "Killer" Keller either of whom could defeat Ann Coulter the leader with 72% before these two outstanding candidates were added.
Hillary Clinton is far and away the most evil woman on the planet....at least Coulter hasn't had anyone killed..anyone remember Mike Foster...
Ann Coulter is FUNNY...Liberals can't handle that...
Coulter is funny sometimes. Most of the time she's just nasty.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Ann_Coulter_Leaves_a_Bad_T
I'm not a big fan of Hillary, but I don't think she comes close to qualifying for this contest. I remember Mike Foster very well. He committed suicide in a park along the Potomoc. I was in Washington at the time.
If you like sick, racist, homophobic humor, she's funny.
Nancy Grace
Hillary Clinton
Gloria Allred
Barbara Walters
Thanks for the suggestions. I'd be happy to add names, but the votes disappear each time I do that. If it had occurred to me, I would have put Nancy Grace on the original list. She might even have come ahead of Ann Coulter, who at least has a bit of a sense of humor.
I have the same problem with polls.
I had one of former presidents that I have to do by hand and add new entries.
I looked at the top of the list but didn't see Nancy Pelosi?
We'll consider her along with the other write-in candidates.
Thanks to Peter F., Here are 10 more nominees-- http://believe-or-not.blogspot.com:80/2008/09/top- But I think I'll stick with Judge Sharon Keller.
Ann evil now that made me laugh Ralph. Don't like someone that is intelligent, funny and speaks the truth? Placing her on your most evil people list says a lot about you not Ann. Would Rush be on your most evil men list? However, since you decided to put political people on that list I would like you to include Maxine Waters for her testomony regarding Fannie and Freddie and of course her saying during her testimony that they were sound due to her good friend Frainlin Raines.
Ann Coulter speaks the truth? Are you crazy? Limbaugh is looney tunes more than evil. Refresh my memory on Maxine Waters' testimony. I'm not a big fan of Franklin Raines. As I recall he cooked the books at Fannie Mae in order to increase his bonus.
You apparently neglected to exercise your right to vote for someone other than Ann? If you don't think she's evil what about the others? Are you a fan of Judge Sharon Keller also? Or, what about Lorena Bobbitt?
Here is a wonderful video of staring Waters and Pelosi!
Pelosi was right about the failure of the Bush administration to regulate Wall Street. Maxine Waters was off base on Raines and Fannie Mae but not in any sense evil. The evil people were at AIG, Countrywide Bank, City Bank, Merrill Lynch and the other crooks on Wall Street. Ayn Rand worshipper, Alan Greenspan, played a major role in the collapse, but I would call him mistaken, not evil. Robert Rubin and Larry Summers also were wrong in their support of repealing Glass Steagal and in their blind faith in free, unregulated markets, but I wouldn't call them evil. BTW there were several others on the ballot above that I would put ahead of Ann Coulter. My vote went to Judge Keller.
Here's some info for you consideration on you pal Ann Coulter
http://hubpages.com/hub/Ann_Coulter_Leaves_a_Bad_T
Thanks for your comments!
For me it was a tossup between Judge Keller and Ann Coulter. I went with Keller because she's been responsible for the execution of potentially innocent people. Ann Coulter is an obnoxius entertainer who is actually funny on rare occasions.
interesting article on my choice of Maxine for most evil woman from today's wall street journal.
Thanks Linda! I'm no fan of Maxine either.
Here's one for you Linda, Wells Fargo and HSBC accused of mortgage discriminatin against African-Americans--
Where is Nancy Grace?
Good suggestion. You're the second one who suggested Nancy. Laura Ingraham also belongs near the top of the list.
The polls were closed briefly and four new candidates for worst woman in the world were added: Margaret Thatcher, Sharon "Killer" Keller, Nancy Grace and Laura Ingraham. Voting can now resume starting again for zero for each candidate.
Ann Coulter was tied for the lead with "Killer" Keller when the polls were closed.
I think both Lizzie Borden and Lorena Bobbit had semi-legitimate motives. There is no excuse for Ann Coulter OR Laura Ingraham. Nancy Grace is annoying but not evil per se.
Great idea for a hub. Can't wait to see the men's list. Can anyone best Adolph?
Tnx, MM. Well Cheney comes to mind as a possibility or Genghis Khan or maybe Nero. I'm taking nominations. Jeffrey Dahmer perhaps? Lizzie was crazy.
Lizzy was temporarily rendered insane by imbibing rancid mutton stew, I believe. Not unlike the bread mold that induced "witch-like" behavior in Salem in the 1600s...
Your male candidates all deserve spots on the ballot. How about Caligula? Henry VIII wasn't too nice to his wives, but wasn't bloody awful to the rest of the country. Rasputin? Stalin? Idi Amin?
Definitely Stalin and Idi Amin. I don't know a lot about Rasputin. I recall he was ane evil influence on the Czarina Alexandra.
here is one for you ralph...and I am ashamed of the Democratics...I am embarassed and to see the true Obama make fun of people that have birth defects...so what if he apologized...the world saw this mans true nature his apology is meaningless...it is like the defendant that killed someone and at his sentencing before the judge announces he turns to the victim's family and says I am sorry I realize the pain I have caused you; I made a thoughtless mistake.
I am not proud of the Democratic leadership at all...Pelosi said it was unamerican to enforce laws and I say she and her party are unamerica in their behavior. It is a sad day for all Americans as they have been hoodwinked by a Chicago Thug Politician.
Well the AIG affair from start to finish isn't the proudest chapter in corporate and U.S. government history. However, the uproar over the $165 million in bonuses is small potatos compared to the more than $100 billion of taxpayers' funds passed through AIG to its counterparties, including $12.6 billion to Goldman Sachs. This deal was cut with two Goldman CEOs in the room--current CEO Blankfein and former Goldman CEO, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, along with Current Sec. Treasury, Tim Geithner. The counterparties got paid 100 cents on the dollar; no haircut for them!
Margaret Sanger—hands down.
Margaret Thatcher!? Pshaw!
If this was set in uk Maggy Thatcher, milk snatcher would win hands down
No doubt. She's an evil woman straight out of Herbert Spencer via Ayn Rand. Too bad Dickens isn't around to satirize her in a contemporary novel.
Anne Coulteer with Sarah Palin running a close second. there is just something about th inane minds of these two that gets under my skin. Wink Wink.....MFB III
I agree. I should have included Palin as a nominee.
Seems like a minuscule list it does not start off with B Boxer, nor Michelle Obamanation. nor even a glimpse of Hills Hilary .
No reason to post from such liberal bias set.
Are you suggesting Lizzie Borden, Nurse Ratched, Lorena Bobbit and the Denny's waitress were Republicans or a conservatives? Upon reflection, you're probably correct!
Thanks for dropping by.
If you are including fictional characters, Lady Macbeth has to be on the list.
I agree. But my audience's interest seems to be more focused on contemporary baddies. I haven't gotten around to keeping my promise of a similar hub on the worst men in the world. I'm having trouble deciding who other than top Bush officials deserve to be included. Aside from Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzalez and John Yoo, I'll probably include the entire Mohler family--
Where is Michele Bachmann on that list? I don't see her anywhere on that list and she is definitely The Worst Woman in the World. How about a write-in?
You got it, mewlhouse. Leaving Michelle off was a big oversight on my part. She may not be the most evil woman in the world, but she's surely the dumbest and most ignorant in the Congress.
This isn't even a close contest. Ann Coulter gets my vote, if testing proves 'she' is indeed female. Nancy Grace would be a distant second and I'd have to add a write-in candidate, Laura Schlessinger, for third because listening to her makes my ears bleed. It's a mad scramble from that point on.
Thank you for this hub, Ralph! I LOVE it! And thank you for not adding me to the list. Yet.
Thanks, Sara. Judge Keller got my vote with Coulter a close second. I should have included Dr. Laura. I enjoyed doing this hub!
Let's not forget Barbara Bush who, when told about the terrible conditions faced by the Katrina victims living with overflowing toilets in that stadium - 'well, they're poor, aren't they so it should work well for them.'
Thanks, Dolores. Yes, I agree Barbara Bush qualifies for the list of candidates.
Sally Kern, the Oklahoma lawmaker that stated that homosexuality is a bigger threat to our nation than terrorism, has to be on the list as well.
Another woman deserving of recognition! Sally Kern of Oklahoma.
Dont forget Thacher was in command of a Hole country and not just a movie .
Very true. She screwed up a whole country.
By popular demand two more nominees for worst woman in the world: Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Phyllis Schlafly
The "Worst Woman in the World" poll was closed in order to add several nominees--Michelle Bachman, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Phyllis Schlafly and Islamophobe Pamela Geller. Ann Coulter had a solid lead over Judge Sharon "Killer" Keller in second place when the poll was closed and re-started.
Nancy Grace without a doubt,How she is able to keep a following is beyond me ,I can not stand that women.
Me either!
You have chosen some interesting women to find as the worst, but I must agree that Nancy Grace is the worst. She is the most hateful, rude person there has ever been, and for what reason? She thinks she is royalty for some reason. Who really cares what that woman thinks. I am just thankful she is not prosecuting cases anymore. America is much better off.
I agree. Thanks for your comment.
Worst women in the world goes to Asian women who are jealous, bitter, angry hitting all the men around end up prostituting all around the world. And, worst girl in the world goes to Caucasian girls who lie about everything. And, bad mother goes to black women who manipulative, controlling and dominating over her child. And, the worst wife goes to latin women who disrespectful, spit, yelling at their husband all the time.
If you decide to reopen your poll again I would suggest that you add Katherine D. Savage, Maryland District Court Judge who dropped rape charges because over a three-year period the Circuit Court clerk couldn’t find an interpreter for the rapist, a Liberian immigrant who speaks Vai, a tribal language spoken in West Africa.
Mahamu Kanneh was arrested in August 2004 after witnesses told police that he raped and repeatedly sexually molested a 7-year-old girl, a relative. The prosecution had witnesses and DNA. The 7 year old victim and another 1 year old victim continued to live in the home with Kanneh, his mother who is a convicted child abuser, and Kanneh's roommate who is a convicted child molester.
Thanks for your suggestion. I don't plan to re-open the poll because if I did all the previous results would be lost.
